In 2014, Maryland was one of 18 states awarded federal Preschool Expansion Grants, designed to expand public preschool opportunities to more low and moderate-income children and their families. This project examined the reach, impact, and overall satisfaction with Maryland's pre-kindergarten expansion efforts. CECEI’s evaluation addressed a range of questions related to the effectiveness of the preschool expansion from both a descriptive and an explanatory perspective.
